Respiration-Averaged CT for Attenuation Correction of PET Images - Impact on PET Texture Features in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients.

PURPOSE:We compared attenuation correction of PET images with helical CT (PET/HCT) and respiration-averaged CT (PET/ACT) in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the goal of investigating the impact of respiration-averaged CT on 18F FDG PET texture parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A...
